Mayorkun Performs "Freedom" for Recording Academy (Grammy)

'Freedom' is the third track off Mayorkun's recently released album

Nigerian Afrobeats star Mayorkun delivered a lively performance of his liberating song "Freedom" in the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only for the Recording Academy Grammy Awards recently.

'Freedom' is a track from the singer's latest album 'Back In Office'.

"The mayor is back, and he's campaigning for freedom," claimed the post on grammy.com which announced the performance.

Mayorkun combined the entrancing elements of the Afrobeats genre with a liberating message in his performance of "Freedom."

"Say you got to do what you got to do, when you searching for freedom," Mayorkun repeats in the song's chorus.

Watch the multifaceted performance below.

'Freedom' is the third track off Mayorkun's recently released album, Back In Office, the follow-up to his 2018 debut album, 'The Mayor of Lagos'. 

Both albums dropped via Davido Music Worldwide, the label of Afrobeats star Davido.

Davido discovered and signed Mayorkun in 2016 after stumbling upon the then-22-year-old performing a piano cover of his single, "The Money."
